Do you ever worry that your financial decisions won’t get you where you want to go in life? I can give you the confidence to know that you’re on the right path. I became a financial planner because I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. Once I got into the profession, though, I realized that it is hard to make a difference when you are pressured to sell products or enticed by commissions and can only work with people who are already wealthy because of asset minimums. So, I started my own firm. I created Guide Financial Planning so that I could do financial planning my own way— serving everyone I want regardless of net worth in a fee-only, conflict-free environment, from a biblical perspective. If you want financial guidance that aligns with your Christian worldview, you’ve come to the right place. As a Certified Financial Planner™ and Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I can create a financial plan for you, a written document that will work as a map, guiding the way as you navigate this journey called life. If you want, I can also partner together long-term, being there with you every step of the way, guiding you through new situations as they arise and helping you to stay on track. And it doesn’t matter where you live, either. With the help of modern technology, I work with people throughout the US and around the world.
